Financial software in Mexico

Vida Financiera is a Mexican financial company dedicated to offering loans to a specific sector of the population. The system developed with OpenXava maintains the client portfolio, registers the credit applications, manages and operates the credits. An authorizations flow was implemented that allows different roles to perform and see different things in the life cycle of a loan. In addition, it has complementary modules to the administration of the credit such as collection, automatic collection, collection tracking, and reports.

OpenXava 6.1 released

Traditionally in each new major version of OpenXava we upgrade all the libraries and drop support for old versions of servers, Java, etc. However, for version 6 we delivered a user-centric version and left out the traditional libraries upgrading. Therefore, we have done this upgrading for 6.1. So, version 6.1 is really a version 6.0 part 2. Mainly this new version drops Java 6 (and 7) support. This was indispensable to upgrade the third-party libraries given currently there is no libraries with Java 6 support. This means the we no longer support WebSphere 8, but also means the we can enjoy new useful features such as repeatable annotations, LocalDate or JPA 2.2.

An example of custom visual style

OpenXava 6 includes two visual themes, Terra and Light. But if you think that Light theme is too classic and Terra theme is too brown, or just you need to use the corporate visual style of your company or customer, don't worry. Creating a new style for OpenXava is easy. Have a look at the next video where a developer presents his OpenXava application. The audio is in Spanish, just ignore it and note the visual appearance.

New OpenXava site

After a million of years using Liferay to power our beloved openxava.org site we have decided to create a new site, from scratch, using raw technology.

The new site is responsive, fast as hell, uses the look & feel of OpenXava applications and works nicely with mobile devices. We have made it with HTML, CSS, JSPs and Servlets, without any Java or JavaScript library, not even jQuery.

Moreover, we don't use cookies (well, just the technical ones from Tomcat), so you will not get the annoying cookies dialog of 100% of the internet sites. We prefer don't to use Google Analytics and improving the user happiness instead.
